About The Absence

Every once in a blue moon, it seems, I manage to fire up the desire to be back over here. But something just keeps me from doing so in general.

I think, ultimately, what happened to me was this: 2008 was discouraging to me on many levels. Say what you will about hope, I just firmly believe that my country committed suicide in November of that year.

Satire, to me, was only feasible when the insanity seemed manageable--when the fibrous tumor of statism and government malfeasance seemed to have mitigating undercurrents.

I am just too pessimistic to joke about it. Obama must be stopped. Perhaps, a Romney administration's temporary morphine injections to our metasticization will make satire do-able again.

That does not mean I am bitter, or angry. I just leave the political fights to the heavy-hitters Like Michelle, Ace, and Hotair. I also cruise over and watch Charles Johnson clown himself with his constant "ooh, rogue commenters discredit an entire site" buffoonery.
